How about Venison? (deer meet hunted in nature). At our home, we rarely eat beef, but instead use venison that we are able to hunt successfully in Michigan. Is it the way the beef is produced or processed with hormones and chemicals? Or is it just the (red) of the meat. Venison is browner than red when we process it.
Here's a link to the abstract: http://glycob.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/cwn072. But this is just one study focusing on the mechanism; there have been numerous studies on red meat, processed meat, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer and my point was to try to pull it all together as a health alert.
What ball park do you go to? Here you cannot bring in any food or beverage. Something about safety?
To put 'consumption of red meat and processed meat' in the same sentence, on equal footing, is not correct science. Do you happen to have a citation for the actual study (you only link to Science Daily's interpretations of the study.) As a scientist, I'd like to read the original report. Could you publish the link, so that all could follow it?
